Phang Nga Bay, Khao Lak & Phi Phi

Phang Nga Province

Leaving Phuket over the bridge, heading north, is Phang Nga province where you will find Khao Lak and Khao Sok national park and the stunning marine national park that forms the magnificent Phang Nga Bay.

Tours leave daily to all these areas (see tours and excursions for details).

Phang Nga Bay

Spectacular limestone scenery rising from the sea, mangroves, sea caves with crystalline interiors and hundreds of tiny islands make up Phang Nga Bay, one of southern Thailand's most fascinating and scenic areas.

Find more information here, or see tours to Phang Nga Bay.

Khao Lak

Located in the mainland province of Phang Nga just north of Phuket Island, Khao Lak has only recently been "discovered." The area stretches across three national parks and offers nature lovers an unspoilt landscape of beaches, hills, mountains, forested valleys, mangroves and estuaries.

Eco-tours operate daily and include elephant trekking and in season, kayaking along the river. More information is available on our Khao Lak website.

Khao Sok National Park

Khao Sok National Park features outstanding natural beauty, with giant limestone mountains, cliffs, caves, rivers and waterfalls. The forest is home to many species of tropical birds, animals, insects, reptiles and plant life, the most famous (yet elusive) being the Rafflesia - the largest flower in the world.

Eco-tours from Phuket run almost every day and include hikes through the jungle, elephant trekking and canoeing down the Sok river.

Phi Phi Islands

A trip to the Phi Phi Islands is an unforgettable experience. The beauty of the area with sheer cliffs soaring from calm, clear seas is stunning. Phi Phi Don, the larger island, has idyllic tropical beaches lining its southern and eastern shores. Phi Phi Ley, to the south, has shallow coral gardens, teeming with fish and perfect for diving and snorkelling.

Take a day trip or stay overnight. More information is also available on our Phi Phi Island Website.

Outlying islands

Phuket has many outlying islands that can be visited either by hiring a local boat or taking a tour. These include Ko Racha, Ko Naka, Coral Island, Ko Rang, Ko Yao and Koh Samui. Tours usually include lunch, transfer from your accommodation, use of snorkelling equipment and Marine National Park fees where applicable.
